UNITED STATES PATENT JAMES W. WEIGHT, OF MANKA'IO, MINNESOTA.

HEATING-STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 237,714, dated February 15, 1881. Application filed November 30, 1880. (No model.)

To all whom t may concern Beit known that I, JAMEs W. WEIGHT, of Mankato, in the county of Blue Earth and State of Minnesota, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Heating-Stoves; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which willA enable yothers skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, which forms a part of this specification.

This invention relates to stoves, grates, furnaces, 8vo., and has for its object to promote the perfect combustion of fuel, and of any gases generated in the process of combustion.

To this end it consists in the improved construction and arrangement of parts, which `vill be hereinafter fully shown and described with reference to the drawing hereto annexed, which represents a vertical sectional vie-w of a stove to which my improvement has been applied.

A represents the base or body of the stove. B is the grate, and C the ash-box.

'Ihe bodyA is provided with a slanting side, D, bulging outwardly, as shown, so as to form a magazine, E, at the head of which is arranged a door, F, through which fuel may be fed to the stove. y

Transversely in the base or body A, parallel, or approximately so, to the slanting side D, are placed two plates, Gr H, a short distance apart. as shown, the space I between their ad- 35 joining edges being capable of being closed by asuitably-operated damper, J.

Centrally in the upper section, K, of the stove is arranged a vertical plate or partition, L, from the lower edge of which a partitionplate, M, extends horizontally above the plates Gr H and the door F.

The stove-pipe hole N is located in the side of the stove above plate M.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the drawing hereto annexed, the operation and advantages of my invention will be readily understood.

Any gases generated during the process of combustion, and which would haveatendency to accumulate in the magazine E, are, by the 5o draft from door F, carried down through the fuel and consumed, the damper J being, of course, normally closed.

When, as for instance might be the case while the ashes are removed, there is atendency to a back draft the damper J may be temporarily opened, thus permitting` smoke and gas to escape through the liuc.

My invention is simple in its construction, perfect in operation, and capable of being ap- 6o plied, Withlike advantages, to stoves, grates, or furnaces used for heating purposes.

I am aware ofthe patent to Ross.No. 99,954, February l5, 1870, and Iclaim nothing therein shown.

I am aware that heating stoves having a bulging-out portion and an interior inclined plate to form a magazine for the reception of coal, and also heating-stoves having horizontal and vertical partition-plates above the flre- 7o pot, are old, and such I do not wish to be understood as claiming, broadly, as of my invention.

Having thus described my invention, I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States- The herein described magazine heatingstove, composed ofthe base A, with bulgingout portion D, inclined plates G H,with intermediate valve, J, horizontal partition M, and 8o vertical partition L, extending up into thev upper section, K, the several parts being constructed and arranged relatively to each other in the manner specified.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.

JAMES WILLIAM WRIGHT.
